I second that, I'm using a logitech(?) wave right now.

Though I was annoyed, the ubuntu 12.04 kernel wouldn't recognize the wave keyboard it in the initrd, and to unlock luks disk encryption, I had to have a wired keyboard plugged in too. Once in the desktop with the rest of the modules, it worked fine. It never annoyed me until the system locked up or power rebooted it, but I kept a small keyboard plugged into it just for that.

Ubuntu 13.04 fixed that thankfully with 3.8 kernel so I could chuck the wired keyboard back in a box, still love the wave wireless.

I personally have really liked the logistics wave keyboard. Long durability comfort and it works great in Linux with volume keys.

I like the ancient IBM keyboards that make that loud clicking noise and weigh 50 pounds. Are new ones being made? If so where can they be had?

I have blown up another keyboard and it's time to get a new one. I live on my keyboard, and as such, I am typing all day long... I would appreciate your opinions and thoughts about what you use, what you'd like, what you suggest...

I wish I had a place to go and try out 50 different keyboards!

Mechanical keys are much loved.
backlighting is cool, but not necessary.
USB hub is an extra, but not necessary.
Volume control.... ugh, I really want one, but alas, not necessary.

I'm currently looking at :

Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate (just awesome)
Das Keyboard Model S Professional (yeah, I get volume keys)
CM Storm QuickFire Ultimate (all the goodies)

Any opinions?
